It was released as the band's first stand alone single on 13 February 2019 on streaming platforms and as a digital download.

[1] Jones decided to release the song as a stand along single due to the political climate at the time.

Kelly Jones explained "“Chaos from the Top Down’ is a song sung from the imagined perspective of a fifteen-year-old boy laying in the road after being shot.

He’s reflecting in his time of dying about his life and the choices he made through the lack of options and opportunities he felt he had in today’s Britain.

A lyric video for the song was released on Stereophonics’ official YouTube channel on 13 February 2019[3] All tracks are written by Kelly Jones
